Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Apple May Rename Lake Ontario To 'Lake America' After Trump Talks

Caption: Apple May Rename Lake Ontario To 'Lake America' After Trump Talks. President Donald Trump has spoken directly with Apple about changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" on its maps, according to U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Burgum said Apple could make the change soon following Trump's conversation with the company. Trump announced the renaming as tensions with Canada escalate over reciprocal tariffs imposed on billions of dollars' worth of goods. The president's executive order changes the lake's name within the U.S. Geographic Names Information System, which establishes standards for official U.S. maps. The order does not affect Canada's naming conventions or determine how the lake is referred to elsewhere in the world. Lake Ontario is the smallest of the five Great Lakes and forms part of the international boundary between the United States and Canada. Apple had not immediately commented on whether it would change the name displayed on its mapping service. Google Maps has already changed the name to "Lake America" for users in the United States, according to Google. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
